Prayer: The Common Good, Congresswoman Barbara Jordan
Many seek only to satisfy their private wants, to satisfy their private interests. But this is the great danger America faces. That we will cease to be one nation and become instead a collection of interest groups: city against suburb, region against region, individual against individual. Each seeking to satisfy private wants. If that happens, who then will speak for America? Who then will speak for the common good?
